AB139Engineer,
Ah OK, that explains the funny nose, didn't look like an Agusta long nose. Speaking of which, 31007 was flying around Philly when I was there a wee while back. It was completing the icing trials, but is also the prototype for the 'long nose' model. Word at AAC was that the long nose would be going into production soon, with its own serial code (31xxx for Italian short nose 139, 41xxx for US short nose 139, 51xxx for long nose).
